Keokuk County Health Center

In the event of a true emergency, just drive to Iowa City. You'll save a lot of time and money.

This hospital doesn't have a lot of basic medical equipment. They don't even have an us. Crazy, huh?

In January, I was forced to be transported, by ambulance, b/c I needed an us and couldn't drive myself since I had lost so much blood and the physician advised it wasn't safe for me to be driving.

I mean, thankfully, I was transferred elsewhere since I had to have emergency surgery but it just seems insane they do not even have an us machine. I spoke with the EMT during the ride and she said they transfer a lot of people. What a waste of money and resources :(

And...I need to have ongoing labs for cancer. And they cannot even do the test! So, I drive an hour and a half once a week to get my blood drawn. It all just seems pointless.

Great Doctors and staff in every part of the hospital.

It went smoothly.

1 star was given simply because there wasn't an option to give lower. Never see Shelly Edwards who is a nurse practitioner in the clinic. We saw her for the first time in May for a well child check up. I wasn't too pleased with her then but thought I'd give her a second chance. Today we had a well child visit for my oldest son. He has behavior issues and was having a bad day in the office. She walked into the room with an immediate attitude and kept talking to me as if I was wasting her time. She never once tried to offer a solution. She only kept weaving around to different reasons and options to try to get us out of the office asap. Tried telling us we didn't have his full records so we had to reschedule. But later admitted she had his records. Then we were told to reschedule because he wouldn't let her get his vitals. Then said his behavior specialist should be the one to address our issues including the well child. FYI his behavior specialist handles just that and not a simple well child check up!!! ****The "best" part was that she ended the visit by saying mid convo simply stating "oh well never mind" and walked out!! Never see this woman, she will waste your time.
